T R A J E C T O R I E S TALK SERIES | THURSDAYS from 6PM GMT
A new series of talks inviting architecture graduates to reflect on their time as students and their exciting next steps. Each week two speakers will explore personal creative aspirations, ideas and agendas, and present the somewhat unexpected trajectories of their early careers. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
This Thursday Alice Hardy and Yannick Guillén will speak about projects on site. They will share stories of getting bespoke buildings off the ground to ideas of shaping the public realm. Hopefully inspiring for your current design projects and the ideas materiality and types of spaces that you are exploring! Please come and bring friends along.
Alice worked at Jan Kattein Architects for two years and will continue to do so through her practice placement. Through JKA she developed her interests in making and self-build projects. She has just completed a self-build project where she worked as a full time Site Manager. Alice has been involved in a number of independent self-built projects such as festival installations and pavilions and a competition with Raumlabor in Munich.
Yannick has worked for Crossboundaries Architects in Beijing, Sauerbruch Hutton in Berlin and Herzog de Meuron in Basel. In 2015 he started working for Witherford Watson Mann Architects in London, where he was architect on the Stirling Prize nominated Nevill Holt Opera, a complex adaptation of a 16th century stable block into a state-of-the-art opera theatre. In 2019 he set up Guillén Esteras Architects and has since worked on a number of architecture projects of various types and scales, including a feasibility for a hospital campus in Lagos, Nigeria, a competition for a public library in Madrid and a single-family home in Wales.
